HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KATH!!!
it’s officially after midnight in Australia, so that means it’s officially
@kat2609‘s birthday!!!!
I hope you have an amazing day filled with pirates and Norse gods and survivors and all the things that you love! You are such a talented, amazing dear friend and I desperately wish I could hug you across the ocean, so this (and a couple other things that are in the works) will have to suffice.
ILY, MFAMB. Have an amazing day!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MFAMB!!!
it’s already the next day in the future where she lives, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY FAVORITE TIME LORD, @kat2609!!!!!!!!!!
I hope you had a lovely day full of all your favorite things, like wet!Colin...
...wet!Killian...
...some Granny sass...
...and maybe a bit of a hot shirtless Aussie!
there’s a thing in the works over here, but I hope this will suffice as a birthday message until then! Love you so much, love!!!!
d, f, s *muah*
Back at you, MFAMB
d - drink you last had/are having. I currently have the dregs of a can of Pepsi Max with Lime on the go. Friday is normally wine night as you well know, but thanks to disco inferno I had a late start. I’ll save it for Saturday night.
f- favourite song. I am always so bad at these. Favourite songs come and go in my life. Currently I only get to listen to Twenty One Pilots’ latest album as the 12yo has commandeered the car stereo and I am quite enjoying that (much to her disappointment) but there isn’t one firm, all time favourite that springs to mind. It tends to be what I am listening to at the time.
s - song last sung. Hahahaha, we were tormenting the kids with music they object to before bed tonight s it was actually In The Navy by the Village People. Otherwise, see previous answer for current earworms I sing along to.
Send me a letter
When you get this, say one nice thing about the person who sent it to you, two things that you are good at, three things you want to accomplish in life, and four words that describe who you are. Then send this to 5 of your tumblr friends.
Kath you are an inspiration. The way you jumped into writing fanfiction was so bold and brave and unapologetic and I loved it. You are funny and kind and so wiling to learn and grow which I think is so important.
I am surprisingly good at research. I am very good at reading for hours on end.
Visit all the places. Publish a novel. Inspire someone to be their best self.
loquacious, introverted, imaginative, self-critical
the comic shop around the corner (preview)
HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, @kat2609!!!!!!!!! (now it’s your birthday in my time zone!!!) I was hoping to have this done by today, but it’s not *quite* as perfect as you deserve (because you are the absolute best). So here’s a preview and the rest will be done soon!!!
Hope you’re having a FABULOUS day, love!!!
“Seven variants? Bloody hell.”
Today was one of those days that Killian cursed David for talking him into this. Who in their right mind bought a comic book shop? It was one thing to be a reader—to get high on the smell of ink and paper and get lost in a fantastic story in a fantastical realm—but to be the one behind the counter? (Or shelf, or glass case, or storeroom door?) Especially he, Lt. Killian Jones of Her Majesty’s Royal Navy (well, formerly). He was a leader of men and a sailor, not a comic purveyor. This was pure insanity.
It was a good thing he loved it. That, and there were worse places to spend your days than a quaintly named comic shop—The Enchanted Treasury—whose yellow walls, dark-stained wood shelving, and large front windows gave off a cozy vibe somewhere between a Hobbit hole and the Hufflepuff common room.
Normally, it wasn't too bad. Tuesdays were always the most stressful, with having to make room and plan for new stock (and then place it in the early hours of the morning), but thankfully the flow of customers was light. So he could easily stand behind the counter, cursing Marvel out for sending so many different copies of the same damn Star Wars comic (even though it was the only Marvel title he read), and only receive a handful of odd looks—though he was still trying to figure out if those were glares or leers he was getting from Granny, owner of the diner down the street. (Rumor had it she'd harbored a crush on Marco, the previous owner, and it seemed as though that may have transferred to Killian.)
DC never does this, he muttered under his breath as he glanced between the shelf, the inventory list, and the scrap of paper he was plotting on through his thick-rimmed reading glasses, tapping on the glass-topped counter with his prosthetic hook as he thought.
He was thinking to himself how he and David, his best friend/business partner/general thorn in his side, would likely be spending the night on the basement lounge couches usually reserved for gaming nights when the gentle tinkle of the door’s ancient bell indicated a customer. He almost didn’t notice the sound as he planned, but it would have been truly bad form to ignore a visitor.
“Hello there,” he called out, not looking up quite yet because he had just figured out the arrangement and if he didn’t write it down, he’d forget. A quiet, feminine “hi” reached his ears; when he looked up, he wished he had sooner. The afternoon light streaming through the large windows at the front of the store caught the woman’s golden hair and illuminated it in an ethereal manner; he would have used the term “angelic,” but her red leather jacket gave her an edge he found utterly tantalizing.
{the rest: coming soon!}
Kath's birthday cannot be properly celebrated without some wet Hemsworth. So, @kat2609, imagine he's saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY too!!!! ❤️❤️
It’s one of the best days of the year!
Not only is it OUAT premiere day, but it’s also
KATH’S BIRTHDAY!!!!!
(well, on Aussie time)
I hope you have the happiest of bdays, @kat2609, MFAMB/local Time Lord!!! There’s a bit more to come as the days goes, but let’s start with a proper tune (and let’s pretend they’re singing to you and not your boy James).
<3 <3 <3 <3
The word is "tail" or "tale" if you prefer....or lackadaisical if that takes your fancy instead!
because I love you (and have so many effing WIPs), you get BOTH [however, lackadaisical has yet to make an appearance…but now it probably will]
tail [from a follow-up to A Tall Tail that I really need to tackle]:
Ever since the dwarf disrupted his morning, Killian had been on edge; something about the news of another merperson in Storybrooke was both exciting and upsetting, especially given that he was the reason why. For all he knew, it was just Ariel or Ursula—but given the number of revelations he’d had regarding his own history when he first discovered he was half-merman, who knew if this was some long-lost cousin paying a troublemaking visit.
He perched on the edge of the Jolly Roger’s railing, having already tossed his cuff aside and letting his golden tail shine in the sun for a moment as he scanned the harbor for any sight of their visitor. But, of course, there was nothing, forcing him to carry out the investigation underwater.
tale [from a yet-untitled thing I’ve been picking at for ages, involving a certain Jones brother and another famous Jones]:
As he’d grown, he eventually figured out that the stories were nothing but tall tales, and something that he and Killian looked back on fondly, especially as children at sea. To now find himself in the midst of a living legend was proving to be hard to wrap his mind around.
Send me a word, if it’s in my wip document I’ll answer your ask with the sentence that it appears in.
